Crappy Aliased icons - General Questions and Answers

They're one of the things spoiling the look of my device. It's especially annoying in Manilla 2D's 'Programs' tab. Is there a way to change these icons/make them aliased? Developers do a great job on the programs, but many of them make horribly aliased icons.

Doing a small search I found this:

I hate to sound like an idiot, but...

Ok, here is my stupid question of the day...
What's the difference between a "skin" and a "theme"?
It seems like they do about the same basic thing, change various aspects of the colors (colours) of things on the screen.
Although I found a "skin" for the phone dialpad and a basic "theme" for the look of the today screen, I would like to create "somthing" that will affect EVERYTHING.... including the soft keyboard, all text on all screens, the top and bottom areas as well. And I want it to be a one package installation. And... I want it to look as good in landscape as it does in portrate.
I'm using a HTC 8125 with WM5
Big Thanx!
That would be a "Skin Suite" --
Skins for top & bottom bars, phone, keyboard, other apps -- also "themed" (or matching) icons for program shortcuts to complete the look
Themes for the Today screen (.tsk files)
Take a look at the Lakeridge software forums or even the Sbsh software forums (under each program's "resources" threads) for LOTS of ideas on what you can skin and some of the skin suites that have been created.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! I think I've downloaded just about every one of them. Of course, I like some more than others, but they're all awesome -- considering I don't have an artistic cell in my body.

Is there anyway to switch from icons to a List View in the Start Menu?!?!?

I have a lot of programs on my wizard and it sucks having to wait fo all the large icons to load...I would rather have a list View if possible with out third party software....
Icons
Hi,
I think they will take the same time loading when in list view.
Anyway, i remember from a while back some prog hat will do this for you, but i can't remember the details. I use Wisbar myself. It gives you a customizable topbar and cascading startmenu, like on your desktop. It's a must have for me.
regards,
Spinner
Thanks I will break down and try WisBar I was just worried it will make my phone run like crap, but thanks for your response.

Simple Today Screen launcher for WVGA

Im looking for some really simple todayscreen launcher. I want 4-5 icons in one row, directly launching apropriate apps. Nothing fancy, no need for submenus/other stuff. Only required option is to autosize icons to fit my X1 (WVGA) screen. Tried lot of launchers like ultimatelaunch, claunch, launch and others - all of them are overcomplicated and usually cant provide this simple requirements I want. Is there any program like this at all?
claunch (er) is so simple...dude, are you sure you do not need regular cellphone instead of ppc, if claunch is too complicated for you?
Its maybe simple, but doesnt work proprely on WVGA devices
ahh, good to know...hm have you tried ilauncher?
Yes, no, cancel?

text message background

can anyone be kind enough to tell me how i change the background when you click on the tabs (eg the background of the text message/calendar etc screens)
i want this sort of image (although in an ideal world would look less paint edited)

cheers...have searched but to no avail.
edit:i tried making a theme off of the winmo website but it didnt load up when i installed the cab
There currently isn't a solution for different backgrounds on different tabs. You can either have one for the home tab, or one for all of them.
Since touchflo has been around for quite some time and no-one's ever had different backgrounds on each tab, I don't expect to see it any time soon.
If you'd be interested at a background on all tabs, have a look at HDWall. Just be aware that you'll need to install the high quality cab (in the first post) in order to use cabs created with HDWall correctly.

you could do this using the background for all tabs cab. use the wallpaper as your homescreen and you`ll see it on the other tabs too. if your wanting a homescreen wallpaper and this seperate for the other tabs i dont know how you would do that, someone on here will know. the background for all tabs is in the mods sticky top of this forum
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i want the cannon for all the tabs and a different pic for my home screen, will take a look at the links and update if i need more help, cheers.
